I have this thing about clowns now too. The one in Stephen King's "It" really got to me.
Oh, geez. Everytime I think I've gotten that memory out of my mind, something happens to bring it back again. Thing, is, the *actual* monster in that story wasn't a bit scary to me. But that *@#$!& clown...
My favorite creatures are the Igors in Terry Pratchett's Discworld stories. I'm really NOT into scary.

Re: What's your *favorite* creature? With heavily made up face and red wig, he looks up from inside storm drain and says..."Want a balloon little girl? Come on down Sherry. I have lots of balloons."
Don't ya just hate it when that happens?

Re: What's your *favorite* creature? Clown Dolls have taken a BIG lead in the 'favorite' horror creature quiz!
Who knew!
As a child, I had one of those Talking Bozo the Clown's. Pull the string and roll out the laugh barrel. He was a happy, funny, little guy.... in the daylight. But at night.... In the shadows... Yikes!
I remember looking out night at him sitting in my little wooden rocking chair. Bozo scared the life out of me. I swear that demented doll wanted to kill me! That's why Poltergiest really sent a shiver down my spine.
Creepy!

I guess my favorite human monster would have to be Freddy Kruger. I still have a warm spot in my heart for him. He was so stylish...and what a handsome devil.

I must say I agree lol. But I like most of the creatures... I just think they're cool. Which gets me a lot of stick lol. Just cuz I'm morbid and scary

Re: What's your *favorite* creature? Ok, I have 2 on my list of faves (although I love them all). Even though that damn clown will probably haunt me tonight, he's not on my list. The first is vampires. I can't help it, I have a 'thing' for them. The creature that scares the s@*! out of me are those creatures from Deliverance and Wrong Turn. You know the ones who are products from years of incest and insanity? I get chills just thinking about it....
I'm really NOT into scary.
Yikes!
